It's very easy to edit the contents within the Knowledge Management system

  1. Click the "Edit" page tab at the top right of the page.
  2. Make changes to the text.
  3. Click the "Save page" button.

Editing rules, editing conventions, and formatting

The number one rule of editing is to be bold. Go ahead - make changes. Other people can correct any mistakes you make, so have confidence, and give it a try! There are all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophies for the editing of + pages, but the be bold rule is the most important of these!

An edit can contribute whole new paragraphs or pages of information, or it can be as simple as fixing a typo or a spelling mistake. In general, try to add or edit text so that it is clear and concise. Most importantly, make sure you are always aiming to do something which improves the contents of the Knowledge Management system.

When you need to use some type of formatting, such as for new headings or bolding of text, you do this using Knowledge Management system markup syntax.

See Help:Formatting for some of the common types of formatting used.

Edit summary

Before you save a change, you can enter a short note (must be shorter than 500 characters) in the "Summary (?):" box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it: just put in a short description of what you just changed. For example, you might say "fixed typo" or "added more information about sunflowers".

This summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to track changes in the Knowledge Management system more effectively.

Preview

It's a good idea to use the "Show preview" button to see what your change will look like, before you save it. This is also related to tracking changes because every time you save, this is displayed to others as a separate change. This isn't something to worry about too much, but it's good to get into the habit of eliminating mistakes in your own work, by using a preview before saving, rather than saving, then having to do another edit just to make one or more minor corrections.

Show changes

Another option is the "Show changes" button which allows you to see the differences between the current version and the edited version.

Protected pages

Pages that are protected cannot be edited by anyone except users of a specific group. Protected pages will instead display "View source" instead of edit. In that case, to edit a protected page, contact a user who has permission to edit the page.

Other types of editing

With Knowledge Management system edits you can start a new page, move (or rename) a page, or even delete a page:

Remember you should always aim to improve the overall contents of the Knowledge Management system with your edits.
